Record Gradings: To my best & 100% honest ability, these album grading’s (per Goldmine website) fall in to these ranges.  I look into a light for scratches/scuffs and set the LP down to check for any warpage.  The last time I listened to my LP’s was in 1998 and they played well.  I have a Bang-Olufsen Turntable, changed expensive diamond needles every few years, and balanced the clean needle that allowed for the absolute minimal force on a record groove.  I sell my LP’s as is since I cannot control differences in other’s turntables/needle care or performance.

Record History & Storage Care:  I no longer listen to my vinyl records and decided to sell my entire personal collection.  Very hard decision for me.  I started collecting records 1973.  95% of all my records were purchased NEW from Korvettes, Hudsons, Dearborn Music, Repeat the Beat, Record Outlet, Tower Records, or Schoolkid Records (all in the Detroit/Ann Arbor area).  For over 40 years, my records have been stored on a vertical shelving unit.  Whatever outside cover wear exists, it is from sliding the records in/out from storage.  They have never been stored in an attic.

Record Care-Handling-Selling Criteria:  My life’s record care was immaculate and I never touched any of my record grooves.  I’ve always handled my albums with my right thumb on the record edge and my fingers by the center hole.  Whenever I did listen to my albums, I used the Discwasher Record Care System.  I never stacked record-on-record, and always put the vinyl back into its sleeve after listening to it.

Packaging & Shipping:  I make my own sturdy cardboard shipping packages & place the record(s) in large oversized acid-free sleeves/bags, and also wrapped in paper with 2 additional cardboard panels.  I seal & protect the package with several layers of industrial tape, and highlight orange “DO NOT BEND” on the package.
